Our Generation

The night

After I got into the pajamas he laid out for me, (which was a very see through thin nightgown) I laid in the huge bed. Lucius came over to my side of the bed. He pulled the covers over me and tucked me in like I was a child.

"I'll be up soon, I just have some last minute things to attend to darling" I whimpered and nodded in response. When he walked out he shut all the lights off. I haven't felt this way since I was about seven but I was afraid to be left alone in the dark.

But like that saying 'your not afraid of the dark, your afraid of what's in the dark' and that's exactly it i was afraid of what could be lurking and prowling around me, just waiting for me to close my eyes before it struck. This anxious feeling came over me, I had the urge to run out the bedroom door screaming. Or at least go to turn the light on.

But something even scarier than the predators in the dark is the feeling of wanting Lucius to be in here to protect me. Maybe I'm just missing Jesse, but it isn't that particular pair of strong muscular arms that I want surrounding me. I sat up and everything like the house creaking or the heat kicking in turned into a killer under the bed, or a monster in the closet.

I waited for what seemed like half the night but was probably more like two hours. When the door finally opened Lucius ca e through the door I couldn't see his features but his shoulders looked slumped and he looked defeated. "Ahna what are you doing awake" he said while crawling up the bed, I scrambled to him we were both up on our knees looking at one another. When I grabbed his shirt roughly.

I got two fistfuls if his pajama top and slammed him roughly on the bed.

"Ahna what's wrong?" He said sounding concerned I just snuggled up to his chest and sighed in contentment.

He pulled me on top of him so I was straddling him, his arms wrapped around around my waist as we both fell asleep in each others arms immediately

...................

In the morning I woke up to someone rubbing my back and massaging it lightly. Unlike when I used to wake up to an empty bed with Jesse.at the thought of Jesse I felt a sharp pain in my chest.

I still had feelings for Jesse, it's just when I'm around Lucius I feel safe and secure like everything's set in stone. He won't have a huge mood swing and be pissed at me the rest of the day without telling me what it's about. Everything's out on the table no secrets.

"Good morning" he said. I put my chin in my hands and stared at him. "I should probably go I have work to do, I just didn't want to disturb you"

"Do you have to" I said giving him the puppy eyes I DID NOT want to stay in this freaky house all alone.

He looked like he was thinking about Ito, "well I need to go to the breeding center, you can come if you would like" he looked weary.

I did not want to go to that or see anything that horrifying, but the only way to get ahead in this world is to know about it and before you know, you must learn. So here goes nothing.
